Swinney

Wednesday 2 July, from 6pm
Hosted by Ray Jordan with Janelle Swinney

$240 per person

Hidden amongst the rolling hills and abundant forest of WA’s remote Frankland River region is Swinney. Matt Swinney had a vision to establish a benchmark vineyard on his family property, and today, he and his sibling, Janelle Swinney, have created something exceptional. Swinney Vineyard has become established in the region as one of Frankland River’s prime sources of quality grapes, supplying to well-known producers as well as filling the bottles of the Swinney family’s eponymous label. The Swinney estate is regarded by many as the finest Shiraz vineyard in WA and an excellent source for Frankland River Riesling.

Ray Jordan

Ray Jordan has been writing about wine for more than 40 years. His first articles were published in the early issues of the national wine magazine Winestate in the late 1970s when he worked in Sydney as a newspaper correspondent. From 1989 Ray wrote more than 3000 columns as a regular newspaper wine columnist. He currently writes a regular column for the special business publication Business News and is one of the main contributors to the national wine platform Wine Pilot. He also contributes special wine commentary to 3AW in Melbourne and 6PR in Perth.

 In 2017 Ray co-authored The Way it Was – A History of The Early Days of the Margaret River Wine Industry and previously wrote Wine in the Blood: Australia’s Family Wine Estates, published in Mandarin and English. In 2011 Ray was awarded the WA Wine Press Club Jack Mann Memorial Medal for his contribution to the WA wine industry. 

His love of wine is as strong as his love of the blues and tasting the thousands of wines that cross his bench each year allows him to indulge in both.
